Traxxas Rustler VXL Truck RTR Brushless (Red)

The Traxxas Rustler VXL Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 stadium truck that pairs a Velineon 3500 brushless motor with the VXL-3s speed control and the TQi radio for aggressive acceleration, predictable handling, and easy tuning from the transmitter.

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals and an aggressive aerodynamic shape plus a rear wing for stable high-speed runs.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — three driving modes (Sport: forward/brake/reverse; Race: forward/brake) and Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup for quick programming.
• VXL-3s includes a large heat sink and built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo packs, plus a Training Mode (50% forward/brake and 50% reverse) for learning drivers.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, low-maintenance design, efficient high-speed bearings and a precision-balanced rotor, finished in blue-anodized trim.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, helps maintain steering composure during throttle-on slides, and can be adjusted from off to 100% assistance from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — two-channel transmitter with a 6533 five-channel micro receiver, fail-safe and telemetry ports, programmable multi-function knob and adjustable steering/throttle percentage, sensitivity and end points.
• Compatible with the optional Traxxas Link wireless module for full app control and automatic storage of up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models (module sold separately).
• Patented waterproof receiver box protects electronics from moisture and dirt for dependable runs in mixed conditions.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout for improved stability with all electronics securely fastened to the chassis.
• Steering — digital high-torque Traxxas 2075 steering servo and a high-performance bellcrank system that reduces bump steer.
• Suspension — adjustable steel turnbuckles and captured rod ends designed to stay in place under hard use.
• Magnum 272R transmission — redesigned low-CG case with a 3.2 mm aluminum motor plate, case-supported bearings, fixed gear mesh, high-strength steel gears and a sealed bevel-gear differential with easy access for maintenance.
• Driveline — Torque-Control slipper clutch and heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes for reliable power delivery.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology and white powder-coated springs for tunable ride characteristics.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires with performance foam inserts mounted on 2.8" black-chrome All-Star wheels.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout for smoother operation and reduced wear.
• Precision hex hardware supplied for fast, correct assembly and repairs.
• Extensive Traxxas parts support and service availability to keep the truck running season after season.
• Requires battery and charger — battery and charger are sold separately.
